Export invoices<\/strong> (also called export sales invoices) are Sales Invoices you issue to a client outside your country for exported goods or services. The system does not have a separate document type for them; instead, you issue them as regular Sales Invoices, and an invoice is identified as an export invoice by the tax used<\/strong> and by linking that tax in the E-Invoice settings<\/strong> for your country. This guide explains how to set up and issue export invoices.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> The Export Invoices<\/strong> option in the invoices list means exporting invoice data to a file (Excel or CSV). It has nothing to do with export invoices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
